Hollywood Hills, Fla., defensive end Jabaal Sheard couldn't make the three-day UM summer camp this coming weekend, so he opted to attend the one-day mini-camp this past weekend.

He hopes he showed enough there to merit a scholarship offer.

"It went well," Sheard said. "It was just a few people there, so we got a lot of reps. I got to work with my position coach, coach (John) Palermo. He did the type of drills they do there. It definitely helped me.

"I guess he liked me because he kept asking me to come out to help with the drills. He said he'll get back with me in a week or so in terms of a scholarship. I'm hoping for it."
